Description of the problem	Earlier in the day when i was driving with my nephew and sister, the esc light came on. The next time i drove it, the light did not come on and was not on at the time of this incident. I was driving in my neighborhood, turning a corner, when i heard a loud clunk from the driver rear side. I stopped and saw a large rusty metal piece had detached from the frame on that side and was dragging on the road, the wheel was tipped out wobbly. I knew it could not be driven. I called aaa and had it towed to a local garage. Due to holiday weekend, my husband saw the mechanic on monday 7/8/13, who diagnosed it as a rear subframe corrosion and failure. He advised us to check for a recall as he was familiar with a prior front frame recall a few years ago. He had other repairs ahead of us, so we had it towed to our mechanic 15 miles away. When our mechanic got it on the lift we were told the damage was very severe: the rear end was rotted, needing removal/replacement of rear crossmember, 2 upper and 2 lower arms, l/r upper control arm and joint, with rear shocks and mounts, and alignment. We called hyundai regional office, opened case # 5870260. The agent reported no recalls and this was not under warranty, but he stated he was "very familiar" with this type of problem in other years and models. He advised contacting the dealership, as they may be able to do something. (herb chambers of auburn, ma.) the service manager at the dealership advised us to have it towed to them at our expense (40mi.) his lack of empathy and telling us that hyundai would take little or no responsibility for repairs, outside of a recall, prompted us to have our mechanic do the work. Repairs were done with hyundai factory parts, ($2,640 including labor). We are convinced that the vehicle has a defect which could have caused a crash, serious injury, and/or death had it happened in any other circumstance.
